00:00What's the most insane thing that you just get into a relationship with somebody, and

00:04what's the craziest thing they asked you right off the bat?

00:0799.5 QIK, it's Mark and Melanie, Tampa Bay, it's Morning Crew.

00:10This story here, and by the way, Melanie wrote a great blog about this.

00:14It's on 99.5QIK.com, it's on the Morning Crew page.

00:18This guy's in a new relationship with this woman, okay?

00:23And she asked him to turn on the read receipts, the red receipts.

00:29I don't know if it's read or read receipts.

00:30I guess it doesn't matter.

00:31Yeah.

00:32That would notify her that he has seen the text.

00:36And, you know, this happens to me sometimes.

00:38Well, you'll get an email or a text, and it'll say, the person has also sent you a read receipt.

00:43Would you confirm that, you know, that you want to sign up and do that with them?

00:46And I'm just like, no.

00:48Why do they have to know when I'm reading and not reading?

00:50Yeah, there is definitely a setting.

00:52If you notice, you can tell who has it on and who doesn't.

00:55Right.

00:55Because when you're texting with someone who has it on, you can usually see that bubble that they're typing.

01:00Right.

01:01You can see it says seen underneath the messages.

01:04So my sister and I, we can see.

01:06That's why I'll call her out.

01:07I'll be like, I know you saw that message and you haven't replied yet.

01:09All right.

01:10But you and your sister is one thing, but a new relationship.

01:12Yeah.

01:13This is crazy.

01:14Crazy.

01:15This is next level.

01:16I was trying to see how long it was going to take him to respond to all of her text messages, which is great.

01:21It's like, you just got in a relationship with this person.

01:23Bro, run.

01:24Run now.

01:25This is your sign.

01:26Fast.

01:27Yeah.

01:28Eric is the guy who went on a first date with this person.

01:31And it obviously went well because they were going to go on another.

01:34They started texting.

01:35She said, on the way to the gym right now, can you do me a favor?

01:37He said, yeah.

01:38What do you need?

01:39And this is all in a screenshot that he posted to Twitter.

01:41Yeah.

01:41Things went so well.

01:42He posted all the text messages to Twitter.

01:44That's how well things were going.

01:46Click on my contact.

01:48Press the I.

01:49Then turn on read receipts.

01:50And he said, what?

01:51Exclamation.

01:52Question mark.

01:52Exclamation point.

01:53And yeah, that was the end of that, I think.

01:55That was the end of that.

01:56So she needed to know when he was seeing him.

01:59And she was probably just trying to gauge, you know, how long it was going to take to respond.

02:03And this is brand new relationship.

02:06I mean, man.

02:06You know what, though?

02:07To her credit, maybe she's been through a few things and she's tired of the games.

02:13She wants to know.

02:15Did he see the text?

02:16Did he not see the text?

02:17Quit playing.

02:17I give Buck a lot of credit.

02:19He tried hard.

02:20I mean, he really was like, I got to find a way to make this woman seem normal and these

02:25actions seem normal.

02:26You have a way of doing that to make crazy sound normal.

02:29So well done.

02:30It didn't work.

02:31But you did give it a good shot.

02:32I actually thought he had a good point, but it's still crazy.

02:36I thought maybe like the angle was like, if she was like, look, I'm just very organized

02:40and I just have to keep all of her.

02:42But even as I'm saying that, I can't buy that.

02:44Because if someone was like, I need to know when you're reading all my stuff and when you're

02:47going to respond, like, I just have to know.

02:49That's too much.

02:49Her last boyfriend probably never wrote back and she's sick of it.

02:54I want to be seen.

02:55I want my text to be seen.

02:57Or she's crazy.

02:58Or she's crazy.

03:00Have you asked someone to do this, Buck?

03:02No, no.

03:02I feel like you're very, you are doing a good job at defending why people should have the

03:07read receipt on.

03:08Half the text, listen, half the text we all send, after you send them, you're just kind

03:11of like, you know, I hope, I wish I would have never sent that.

03:13I hope they never read it.

03:14Oh, totally.

03:15You know what I mean?

03:16Instead of like, confirm to me that you've read this and understand it.

03:19I almost, I'm like, nah, this goes the other way.

03:21I almost said, I wish there was a buyback button where you could send a text and you actually

03:25get 30 seconds.

03:26And actually, I do think there's an app that you can do that with.

03:28It holds it for 30 seconds.

03:30It does.

03:30And then it'll pop up and go, do you really want to send?

03:32Nope, I don't.

03:33You're right.

03:34Thanks for asking.

03:34I don't want to send this text.

03:35I know you can unsend on Instagram if they haven't seen it yet and you're in someone's

03:39DM and you send them a message.

03:40Oh, have you ever used that?

03:42Oh my gosh, yes.

03:43For what?

03:44I just am an awkward person and I say the wrong thing.

03:47I think I send something back and I go, oh wait, that was, I need to not say that.

03:50And then I hit unsend.

03:51I second guess basically everything I do in life.

03:54So this is not a surprise.

03:55I did not know about the Instagram unsend thing.

03:56I'm going to check it out.

03:57All right.

03:57So 800-992-1099.

04:00We're looking for the strangest request.

04:03The strangest request somebody ever made.

04:05This is a brand new relationship.

04:07Like they had only been on one date, I think.

04:09Yeah, one date.

04:10One date.

04:11And she's like, turn on the receipts.

04:12I got to know.

04:13I got to know.

04:14Or is it not that bad?

04:16Are people on the other side?

04:17Yeah, maybe we're crazy.

04:19I mean, that's always in play.

04:20That wouldn't surprise me.

04:22Call us or text us.
